[QUOTE=fortyseven;14036043]They'll ask you for an interview, I was offered AAB, they gave one of my friends ABB, but usually it's just the standard university offer.

They let me in with BBB in Maths, Physics and History. There was a 10% drop in applicants last year though.

The interview isnt that bad, they'll have a bunch of people, start with a buffet lunch, couple of talks, tour the department, back in to talk to students and things, take so many people at a time for the interviews. You'll probably get to meet some of the people off our social committee, 'cause we're cool kids! They'll drag at least 2 of the 5 first year girls down as well.

The interviews arent anything tricky, they might ask you questions, but they dont expect you to have a huge bank of knowledge already, they'll ask you about your A levels, what you think you'll get, why you chose Manchester, what programming experience you have (that's only for reference), why you chose the course etc.

I had some guy that talked to me about violins and I play bass guitar and saxophone...[/QUOTE]

The thing is Highers are classed Differently to A Levels, so I don't actually know what I need.

[QUOTE=fortyseven;14036172]Yeh, that's the problem one of the girls is having, she's doing a foundation but she cant afford to live here so she's back and forth.

The Met halls are pretty dire, but it's all about the experience really :)

I need to start looking for a house for next year. Not fun at all.[/QUOTE]

Who is it? i might now them :eek:

And it depends with halls, the Cambridge halls look nice, i want to go in them halls, and there 2 minutes from my building.

Thats for the University of Manchester anyway, I dont know what it is for Manchester Met.

Thats me not going to Manchester Uni then.

Sorry kid!

Might be worth applying anyone as a long shot? Worst they can say is no...

I'll probably apply to most Unis anyway heh.

If you apply threw UCAS you can only apply to 6.

STFU.

I still wanna know these people! i wanna see if i know someone of MX in real life via proxy.

I'd agree with this, the amount of people taking physical sciences beyond compulsory schooling has dropped yet again, and this has a knock on effect on the kind of grades you need to get onto Uni courses where subjects like Chemistry and Physics are preferred.

Dead Star, what subjects are you doing and what grades are you predicted? That might be helpful for looking at courses and stuff.

[QUOTE=fortyseven;14035943]Oh yeh. It's not a course to score chicks either.

for that it's all about the physics

I just phoned up the number that, I thought, was the right one. To see about getting the tax back that is being taken off me. It turns out it was the wrong number. The woman on the other end was nasty. Stupid whore :evil: I asked her if she knew what number I should call, she gave me one but it's not a real number :evil: :evil: grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Probably do Graphics and Music next yea, I'm predicted all around B and C.

Those aren't bad grades, there are quite a few decent unis you could get into with grades like that. Obviously not the most prestigious ones, but you shouldn't do badly.

Relationships are so much more difficult than everything else in life put together.
